SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose: In accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act 
(Sunshine Act), Public Law 94-409, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552b), the U.S. 
Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will hold a public meeting on 
breaking down accessibility and language barriers to voting.
    Agenda: The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) will host a 
public meeting to discuss areas such as accessibility for voters with 
disabilities as well as language accessibility. The meeting will also 
highlight the EAC's resources on these topics for voters and election 
officials, including best practices guides, new research, and a first-
of-its-kind video training series.
    The agenda includes panel discussions with representatives from the 
EAC, election administrators, and subject matter experts. Panelists 
will give remarks and respond to questions from the EAC Commissioners.
    The full agenda will be posted in advance on the events page of the 
EAC website: https://www.eac.gov/events/2023/09/06/us-election-assistance-commission-public-meeting-september-6-2023.
    Background: Through the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the 
EAC is tasked with maintaining a clearinghouse of election 
administration information. HAVA also ensures that all voters with 
disabilities have the right to mark, cast, and verify their ballots 
privately and independently. To fulfill this mission, the EAC provides 
best practices recommendations, training materials, and other resources 
for election officials. By enhancing the agency's work with voters with 
disabilities, those who are non-native English speakers, and the 
election officials who serve them, the EAC aims to improve 
accessibility and ensure an independent and private vote for all.
    Status: This meeting will be open to the public.

Camden Kelliher,
Senior Associate Counsel, U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
